Look! Another cliché-d story from me! Aren't you guys excited? *dramatic sigh* Oh how I love clichés! They're so fun! I hope you guys like it!

Disclaimer: Ciel is not mine, nor is Sebastian. Nor is the song, 'All I Want For Christmas' because I plan on mentioning that a couple times.

There was one thing Sebastian wanted. It wasn't anything big; it wasn't actually a material object. He wasn't even asking for much. Demons don't need things but if you asked this demon, he needed this. The one thing he wanted, the one thing he needed was Ciel. He had Ciel as his master and lover but he wanted him as more.

He needed Ciel to marry him.

Assuming the younger demon would say no due to his embarrassment if asked normally, Sebastian knew he needed to make this go perfectly. He would make this so memorable, Ciel would have to accept. He had the perfect plan. It's a good thing Christmas was right around the corner…

It was Christmas Eve and Ciel was bored. While Sebastian was busy wrapping last minute presents, Ciel chose to spend his time lounging on his bed, groaning and muttering to himself about his boredom. Sebastian said he had one last present to finish so why was it taking so long?

Irked with the time his butler-actually-lover was taking, Ciel dragged himself off his-actually-their bed and trudged to the living room. He flopped himself on the couch and stared blankly at the twinkling lights on the Christmas tree.

He always thought it ironic that two demons celebrated Christmas. Why would a pair of devils, involved in not only a homosexual relationship that could be considered as pedophilia to one who didn't know Ciel's true age but bound by demonic contract, celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ? Though in reality, they didn't celebrate the rebirth of Him but they celebrated the controversy, criticism and economic stimulus the season brought. Ciel smiled slightly at the idea of the hubbub no doubt going around in town this very moment but was jerked out of his thought when a tall figure walked in through the door.

Sebastian, wearing his usual Santa hat, came in humming 'All I Want for Christmas is You'. Ciel closed his eyes and groaned faintly at the sound of Sebastian's voice humming the same song he'd been singing for the past couple weeks. If only he knew why Sebastian was singing that particular song.

The raven-haired man plopped down on the couch and wrapped his arm around Ciel's waist to pull him in close. Ciel complied and curled his knees up and rested his head on Sebastian's chest.

"Baby, all I want for Christmas, is you~" He sang the last two lines out loud, right in Ciel's ear, who shivered at his boyfriend's warm breath brushing over his own skin.

"Oh, shut up." Ciel laughed moving his arm behind him to lightly swipe at the demon's cheeks. His hand was caught by another gloved one and kissed delicately, before letting it fall back down.

"It's Christmas tomorrow, Ciel," Sebastian informed him matter-of-factly.

Ciel turned his head around and met Sebastian's crimson eyes, "Yes, I think I've figured that out by now. By the way, what took you so long to wrap? You were in your room for 67 minutes."

"You counted the minutes? Why, did you miss me?" Sebastian purred, "I can't tell you what it was, you'll have to wait until tomorrow morning." Though he really wanted to show Ciel exactly what he was wrapping. He wanted to pop the question early. But he would hold back and wait until tomorrow. Then Ciel would forever be his.

Remembering a tactic he had used a couple years back, Ciel stuck his bottom lip out in the most adorable pout, "Please, Sebastian?"

"Hahahahahahaha," Sebastian laughed sarcastically, "Hahahahaha, no. Not this year," he said, in reference to the year Ciel had begged Sebastian cutely to let him open his presents early. He adopted a cooing voice that most people reserve for babies, "But it's time for all good boys to go to bed, or Santa Clause won't come."

Ciel glared at Sebastian and pushed off his sturdy chest. Already missing the demon's body heat he asked, "You coming to bed tonight?"

"Afraid not, I have a couple things to finish before tomorrow." Read, he has to bring out the last present and put it in a place Ciel will be sure to see it as soon as he wakes up.

Ciel resisted the urge to pout again, "Then put me to bed," he said, holding his arms up, as if he were a baby wanting to be carried. Sebastian compliantly stood and lifted the light boy into his arms and carried him to his room bridal style.

The next morning, Sebastian woke to an empty bed and the smell of smoke coming from outside the bedroom. Being tired, he immediately dismissed it as Bard blowing something up again. He sat up, intending to go stop him but flopped back down when he remembered that the chef would be fine. He always was. Sebastian closed his eyes once again anticipating another couple minutes of sleep.

He jolted up when he realized something. Bardroy was dead. He had been dead for centuries. The only other person in the house was Ciel, who should be asleep next to him. And he wasn't. And that would mean…

The demon's pale skin whitened further as his bleary mind connected the dots. Jerked awake by this comprehension he cursed himself before shooting out of bed and through the door. He sprinted to the living room, just in time to see the Christmas tree shoot up in flames. A small figure leapt backwards seemingly from out of nowhere into Sebastian. The elder demon wrapped his arms around Ciel and jumped back, away from the endangering flames. Immediately, Sebastian looked down, into the deep, bi-colored eyes of the scared, shaking boy, "Explain."

Turns out, Ciel wanted to make this Christmas perfect for Sebastian, to apologize for being such a… for lack of a better word… being such a brat. So he had tried to light a couple candles like he had seen in movies and… in his haste to set up… knocked a couple over on to the tree. By the end of his story, Ciel was in tears, apologizing for messing everything up and getting the Fire Department involved on Christmas.

"I- I- I'm sorry, S- Se- Sebastian," he hiccupped, "I- I didn't m- mean t- to."

Holding the small boy in his arms, Sebastian rocked back and forth slightly, comforting his little lover, "Shhh, I said it's okay. I'm just glad you're not hurt."

"I- I just wanted t- to-"

Ciel was cut off by Sebastian again, "I know, my Ciel, I know. It's alright."

Not able to stop his tears, Ciel buried his face into Sebastian's chest, sniffling and whimpering. Sebastian sat there with him in his lap, whispering reassuring nothings into Ciel's hair. Unbeknownst to Ciel, Sebastian was watching the Fire Department intently waiting to see if anything could be salvaged from the ashes. Though he already knew what he needed to know. The very last present, the one he had wrapped just last night, was gone. He didn't really care about the all the presents he got for Ciel, just one, the one with the small silver band in it. It didn't make it. They only one Sebastian really wanted to give Ciel had been ruined. The mere thought of this almost brought tears to his own, cherry red eyes. He had planned this day out for so long, why did human trees have to be so flammable?

This meant Ciel still wasn't 100% his. This was his chance and it had been ruined. He didn't blame Ciel; he blamed himself, for not having the courage to ask on a normal day, for not having the courage to ask like a real demon. He blamed himself for being scared. His sweet voice rang out once more,

"Baby, all I want for Christmas, is you~"

So how was it? Did it make sense? I hope it did, if it didn't tell me and I'll clarify. And to answer the inevitable question, yes, there are more chapters planned for this story. XD
